The results of these games don't actually affect the events of your life

Keep playing it. The soreness goes away because your hands, especially your fingertips, toughen up.

I'm practicing the spider drill a lot to add speed and flexibility and strength. Figure the fingertip callouses will follow.

They may be SB bound, but they were bad to start the season. Bad example.

Prescott lead the #1 scoring offense in the NFL once he came back. You want to try again?

And the Bucs game did we win that in despite of Daks 300 yards and 5 TD's?

This is you all are going to hang your hat on now. #1 O beat up team with losing record and Dak got 300 yard and 5 TDs he lost the SF game because of all bad inferior players he’s forced to play with. You are so whacked out you should commit yourself. I’m just shocked Dak didn’t do a QB draw that last play dam the no good OC of the #1 O. Lmao

They actually do affect my life because they affect my mood. I'm human, thus my mood has a big influence on my daily life.

He's firmly stuck in the sunk cost fallacy. His ego won't let him take an obvious L at this point.

.. I hear ya, mate. Life goes on.

Wishing though, I was watching Dallas this weekend at Philly.

On positive note: Will be back in post season next year. For another shot.

 

[CATCH17]

LOL.......So Dak is Dallas biggest flaw? Man you guys really go off the deep end eh?

So what can we expect if we dont ditch Dak? Another 12 win season and 2nd round exit against the best team in football? Oh man, that would be terrible.

His contact and his inability to play up to it is what’s wrong with Dak.

Zeke and Dak… 2 of the most dumb deals ever.

 

[BrassCowboy]

Yeah, when I was younger, I may have been dumb enough to put mental stock into the outcomes of the Cowboys games, but not anymore.
That is why I have to laugh when I see stupid vids of Cowboy fan running over their TV. I am like if you let football affect you that much, time to do something else with your life than watch a bunch of players that play a game for money

Interesting adjective, is your colon studying philosophy?

It's like taking a dump in the Rodin "the thinker" pose

... the results of these games don't actually affect the events of your life, if you don't let them. The responsibility to build a great team is not on you. It's on other people. When your team lays an egg, there's nothing to stop you from doing great things in your life. It's normal to feel bummed out after a season-ending loss. If you need to take some time to lick your wounds, that's perfectly fine. But when you're done, do some things that are good for you and your family. Upgrade your career. Upgrade your physical health if you can. The team could go 17 and 0, and win the Super Bowl, and it wouldn't upgrade your life, other than perhaps in some of your Dallas Cowboys decorations. But a loss doesn't have to downgrade your life either. If you've been meaning to get an exercise program going to get fit, do it. If you've been meaning to learn to play an instrument or to learn another language, do it. These are the things in life that can change when you put effort into them. No amount of lamenting over the bad play of your team will fix them. That's the responsibility of other people.

I know this is only common sense that many of you may already know, but I wanted to say it. There's nothing wrong with reinforcing it, and there may be some fans out there who hadn't thought of this. Rooting for a team is a vicarious experience. It's not your real life.

Anyway, I wanted to wish all the fine people on CZ all the best.

Must not have seen the video of the guy running over his TV. What did the TV do to him?

 

[BoyzBlaster]

I seem to have more profound bowel movement when they're losing

That's called "taking a Dak" when it's a big one.

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

def disappointed they lost and was excited for the fun and our season to continue. i used to be rabid about the cowboys where their success had an impact on me. not any more....i was awoken by the wokeness and now take it as pure entertainment. emotional investment no longer exists

Nice take.
Truth spoken!

Got a guitar for my bday, hard to learn because my hand gets tired and sore but doing that too.

Happy Birthday!!

I've been on this forum since 2004...now look at my post count and it speaks for itself.
I root for this team to win, but I don't let them take over my life or post about them constantly.
The bottom line is this organization just hasn't been the same since the triplets retired and I knew this before 2004.
Coaching isn't enough...you really need that kind of player talent and that kind of player leadership to win a SB.

Good post. I was thinking about writing something similar but didn't get to it, since yours is very good and also reminder of not letting the game and the team we love take our spirit down that much, I'll pitch something else...

I was looking for the radio calls of Brad and Babe of the Tampa game and bumped into the story of Babe's son Luke who died of cancer, I didn't know about it, the story really is heart breaking, specially to me because I recently lost my nephew of 18 years old to cancer too. It struck me that Luke's story and my nephews's is so similar, Babe and my brother, both loving fathers who suddenly are hit with a ton of bricks when their sons face their inevitable end. I felt the grieve of the full process again now for Luke and his family. Also, I discovered in watching something really unexpected, the human side of no other than everybody's favorite robot, Jason Garret.

Jason according to Babe was his biggest supporter and a brother to him through out Luke's illness, he convinced him to give the eulogy at his son funeral, something Babe didn't think he could do. Jason spoke from the heart about Luke in a press conference too, he loved him too. Other members of the Cowboy family like Troy and Rodger were there for Babe and Luke. To this day I try to do the same thing for my brother. We both love the Cowboys, he introduced me to them when I was a kid, my nephew loved the Cowboys too, the three of us used to watch the games together, at his funeral we had his favorite jersey hanging on a frame.

I know this has nothing to do with Dak and Zeck performances or Diggs or anybody, I know football is football, and winning is all to it, but, what if we can use the frustration and change it to something else, learn a little bit about humanity. I recently watched Dak's story about loosing his mother and brother too and it helped me appreciate his effort and struggle. I used to hate Jason Carrothead, now I hate him a bit less, LOL.

I still love the Cowboys, but that love is not so painful and competitive anymore, they are part of my life story and my loved ones, so I'll keep loving them no matter what, as you love your family, with patience, our day is coming, and if I don't get to see it for some reason, nobody can take away all the good memories.

Love to all of you brothers and sisters.

Most of the fans that live on here has ZERO life. Football is their only form of living and that's sad. I stop posting during the off peak time just to get some perspective in my life, but it saddens me to see people in here in March just arguing. Very sad.

 

[XXLMike]

It absolutely impacts my mental health - always has .

I’m extremely down - I’m coming around but this loss really bothers me .

It was there

Also results in more BBQing and grilling and stuff.
